INTRODUCTION
Randox Laboratories Ltd. has over 20 years experience in the development, manufacture and marketing of high quality
diagnostic reagents and equipment for laboratory medicine. Randox supply circa 35,000 laboratories in over 130 countries
worldwide. All Randox reagents are manufactured under rigorous quality procedures to achieve the high quality standards
expected in clinical science. A significant proportion of resources are invested in research and development to ensure kits
are developed to the highest specifications and conform to international standards. Commitment to quality is emphasised
by ISO13485 accreditation for the development and manufacture of diagnostic test kits.
Randox’s clinical products can be found in almost every country. The Randox portfolio includes Biochip Array Technology,
clinical chemistry automation systems, external quality assurance schemes, Internet driven QA systems, quality control
materials, clinical reagents and environmental diagnostics.
Quality Control Sera

Randox manufacture a broad range of human and bovine-based quality control material. The Randox product range of
control products includes clinical chemistry multi sera, tumour markers, cardiac, CSF, urine controls, lipid controls, specific
protein controls, therapeutic drug and a range of mono controls. All control products come in easy to use, colour-coded
packaging to help distinguish different analyte levels and minimise costly errors. Bottles, caps and packaging are all
colour-coded to aid stocking and usage of the products in the laboratory.
Randox assayed and precision sera are available in human and bovine (only available in clinical chemistry controls) form.
Method-, temperature and instrument specific target values and ranges are available for all assayed sera. Randox
precision serum is supported with guideline values from a consensus mean of results from independent laboratories for
the most regular methods.
RIQAS
RIQAS, the external quality assessment scheme from Randox Laboratories is the world’s first clinical EQA scheme to gain
UKAS accreditation. The programme results and reports can be transmitted through postal, fax or e-transfer services.
RIQAS has been providing "Proficiency Testing Schemes" for laboratories worldwide for over 12 years. Today, RIQAS
offers 8 programmes with 160 analytes to circa 5000 participants in 59 countries. The 8 programmes currently available
include general clinical chemistry, specific proteins, therapeutic drugs, human urine, lipids, immunoassay, cardiac and
haematology.
a
Randox have introduced a new internet-driven software package. The Peer Group reporting software utilises values from
laboratories worldwide and allows access to reports showing your analytical performance 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Designed to complement the Randox product range of control sera, a facilitates the monitoring of analytical
performance (internal quality control) and enables direct comparisons with laboratories worldwide (peer group reporting).

SELECTING A CONTROL PRODUCT
Technology improvements in clinical pathology have revolutionised laboratory analysis by facilitating a
massive throughput of samples and the adaptation of the most up-to-date methodologies. Standardisation
and calibration of modern instruments play a pivotal role in the generation of quality information for accurate
clinical decision making. These developments have created a demand for a broad range of quality control
products to cover the ever-increasing list of tests carried out in clinical laboratories.
CONTROL MATRIX
Randox manufacture both human and bovine based control products for use in all laboratories. Lyophilised
controls are stable for up to 4 years after the date of manufacture.
Bovine-based sera is prepared from certified disease-free animal source material and offers high
performance for up to 44 clinical chemistry analytes when cost considerations are paramount.
Human-based sera is donor tested at source and found to be non-reactive for Hepatitis B and C antigen
and HIV I and II antibodies. Human-based sera offers a matrix consistent with human patient samples and
offers high performance for up to 70 analytes. It is generally preferred for immunological methods including
serum proteins and hormones.
All Randox control products are manufactured to the same high specifications using procedures recognised
by ISO 13485.
HUMAN ASSAYED AND PRECISION SERA

Assayed sera are used for the control of accuracy of results. Each parameter has an assigned mean +/-
2SD range generated from 3000 independent laboratories world-wide and approximately 98,000 results.
Method, temperature and instrument-specific values are provided for up to 70 parameters in the clinical
chemistry multisera. A unique feature of Randox assayed serum is the use of reference method values for
up to 12 parameters for generation of the target value. Reference methods are generally considered most
accurate for the determination of a specific analyte and are traceable to international standards, enabling
inter-laboratory standardisation.
Unassayed serum is generally referred to as precision serum and is used only for the control of
reproducibility of results. Approximate values are assigned from a consensus mean of results from
independent laboratories for the most common method.

URINE CONTROLS
Values for assayed urine controls are assigned from a consensus of results from approximately 600
independent laboratories. Approximate values for unassayed urine controls are generated by results from
selected reference laboratories and assigned from 3 consensus of results obtained by these laboratories.

COLOUR-CODED CONTROLS
Easy to use, colour-coded packaging will help distinguish between different levels and minimise costly
errors. Colour-coded bottles, caps and boxes will also aid stock management and usage of the products in
the laboratory. Colour-coded controls were introduced in 2003 however existing stocks will be in circulation
until 2007.

TEXT ON TUTORIAL
Randox has recently developed an educational tutorial to assist all new users of the 247 software. Our free
interactive 247 tutorial contains explicit instructions, for example, on how to set up the data panels, enter
results, run reports and upload results via the Internet. The tutorial contains an online help manual to
ensure that the client always has access to a solution on any problem or query they may have.
Each user of the tutorial will have a unique username and password; a laboratory manager can then view
the progress of each member of staff as frequently as they wish. At the end of each section in the tutorial
there is a self-assessment exercise that allows all users to test their knowledge and understanding of the
247 software programme.
This multi-lingual tutorial will be provided on each individual 247 software disc.

RIQAS Programmes
RIQAS has been providing "Proficiency Testing Schemes" for laboratories worldwide for over 12
years. Today, RIQAS offers 8 programmes with 160 analytes to circa 4500 participants in 60
countries around the world.
RIQAS is a dynamic, user-led scheme, which recognises that laboratory requirements vary
significantly and therefore offers a flexible programme choice. With a combined total of 60 years
EQA experience, the RIQAS team are in an excellent position to offer quality EQA solutions. RIQAS
is continuously developing new programmes and innovative software for EQA.
e-transfer
At present, the user-friendly, charted reports allow interpretation of
performance ‘at a glance’. To advance this service, software trials are in
progress for the electronic transfer of results and reports. This will reduce the
turn around time and cut down significantly on the amount of ‘paperwork’. It
will also make it much easier to implement method changes.
UKAS Accreditation
RIQAS, the external quality assessment scheme from Randox Laboratories is the
world’s first clinical EQA scheme to gain UKAS accreditation.
The United Kingdom Accreditation Service is the sole national accreditation
body recognised by government to assess, against internationally agreed
standards, organisations that provide certification, testing, inspection and
calibration services*. The RIQAS EQA scheme has been recognised by the UK
accreditation body UKAS for providing a first class inter laboratory comparison
assessment service. 0010 PT
